Shanghai is the world's largest container port and a growing bunker hub, supplying an estimated 3-4 million tonnes annually. Like Zhoushan, bonded bunkering is enabled under China's free trade zone policies. Shanghai is distinguished by the integration of bunker operations with one of the planet's most sophisticated container terminal complexes.

Seven Ocean procures the following marine fuel grades at Shanghai. Click any grade for full technical specifications.
Yangshan anchorage, Waigaoqiao, various designated points
The Yangshan terminals, connected to mainland Shanghai by the Donghai Bridge, handle the largest container vessels afloat. Bunker services serve both the mega-box vessels calling Yangshan and the feeder traffic moving inland via the Yangtze estuary.
Shanghai is inside China's Domestic Emission Control Area, meaning vessels within 12 nautical miles must burn fuel with ≤0.10% sulphur content while at berth. LSMGO and VLSFO are accordingly the dominant products. HSFO for scrubber vessels is available.
The major state-owned suppliers dominate, with Chimbusco and Sinopec Zhejiang holding significant share. Private-sector suppliers also operate. Nomination is typically 3-5 days for new accounts.
The Yangtze estuary can have strong tidal streams affecting barge manoeuvring. Winter can bring fog that delays operations. Typhoons in summer occasionally affect schedules.
